Because everytime I hear a story about something Dad did, it gets crazier and crazier, haha. Things kinda slowed down here when I got to the office. We were just talking about how much harder it is to write weekly letters to our families because nothing really happens here. But I'm going to do my best.
This week the assistants were gone with the president all week travelling around the mission doing zone conferences. So we had the whole sector to ourselves. Yeah.
We started teaching one of the assistants investigators named Freddy. Freddy used to be a Satanist, worshipped Satan, and cursed God. But then he felt bad about that and decided he needed a change. And just on time, he found the missionaries. They taught him the first lesson, and he was amazed that we believe in visions and that people have talked face to face with God. Because he said that he has had similar experiences but no one believes him. Interesting. He loves the Book of Mormon. He loves to pray. And he's felt the Spirit really strongly. When we taught him about the gift of the Holy Ghost, he got really excited that he was going to have the chance to feel the Spirit ALL THE TIME. So yeah, he's going to baptized on Christmas or the day after. His story probably doesn't sound real interesting in writing, but it's pretty sweet in real life.
Emerica Reina is just putting right along. She hasn't come to church in a while, so she isn't really progressing much, but she says she still wants to get baptized. So we'll see what happens with her I guess.
This week the power came back on so it doesn't go out anymore. That was exciting. It hasn't rained yet, but should be starting very soon.
It sounds like Trent's doing well training that dog, so I can't wait to meet her when I get back. Even though she'll be OLD by then. And me too.
So I guess that's really it. Take care everyone and have a wondermazing week.
Love,
